Problem/activity:
You’re mixing ingredients for cookies. The recipe says to combine 6 tablespoons, or ¾ stick, of butter with 1 cup of sugar. You accidentally mix in a whole stick of butter (8 tablespoons) with the cup of sugar. How can you fix this?


Standard options: 
A. Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”
B. Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.
C. Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. For example, “This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar.” “We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger.” (Expectations for unit rates in this grade are limited to non-complex fractions.)


Thought: This problem solves a real-world problem involving mixing ingredients for cookies. A student doing this problem would need to reason about equivalent ratios of butter amounts to sugar amounts.
Answer: B

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

options: Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies (include groups with up to ten objects).

Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to compare numbers in a way that makes sense to them. Students can use physical objects or make drawings to represent each number (MP5), and match or count to compare. Students can also use their knowledge of the count sequence and understanding that each successive number refers to a quantity that is one more to compare the numbers. In the synthesis students describe how creating representations of numbers helps to compare numbers.
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions.
After students decide which manipulative they will use for the activity, invite students to plan a strategy for how they will use their manipulatives to determine which number is more. If students choose to use counters, give them access to 5-frames to help with the counting.
Supports accessibility for: Visual-Spatial Processing, Conceptual Processing, Organization

Give students access to connecting cubes or counters.
“Work with your partner to figure out which number is more. Circle the number that is more.”
Activity
5 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who create representations of the numbers using cubes or a drawing and use these representations to compare.
Monitor for students who counted to figure out which number is more.
Student Facing
Circle the number that is more.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students circle the number that is less instead of the number that is more, consider asking:
“What do you know about these two numbers? What are you trying to figure out?“
“How can you use the cubes to show each number? How can the cubes help you figure out which number is more?“
Activity Synthesis
Invite previously selected students to share the representations they made and how they used them to figure out which number is more.
“How did counting out the groups of objects or drawing pictures help you figure out which number is more?”
Invite previously selected students to share how counting helped them compare the numbers.
“We know 8 is more than 5. Compare these numbers using ‘less’.”
